buried treasure, campouts, alligator attacks,
explosions, spying teenagers, family ties,
and God’s protection.
What do they all have in common?
They’re all in the book Missing Link: Found – the first book in the Truth Seekers Mystery Series.
Written by 17 year-old Christina Gerwitz and her mother Felice Gerwitz, this book blends an exciting story of adventurous teens with sound, science facts and descriptions, from a creation worldview.
From the book – “While on vacation in the Keys, a devious plot unfolds, and the Murphy’s find themselves in the middle of a full-speed boat chase and encounter with the FBI. Their vacation plans are then cut short by the arrival of a cryptic message from Dr. Murphy’s brother, requesting his immediate presence at an anthropological dig along the Peace River.”
This is such a fun adventure. I really enjoyed reading it aloud to my kids during their evening bedtime. My 16 year-old daughter, who is most recently gaining an appreciation for Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, finds Missing Link: Found to be exciting and down to earth.
She fondly compares it to the Mars Diaries series of books (which she read fervently), except Missing Link: Found is based in today’s reality and is an adventure story with characters like herself and her brothers. She relates well to the Murphy family and their Christian living. Mars Diaries are science-fiction and take place in the future, on Mars.
I had no idea what Missing Link: Found would be about based on the book’s cover. But the title gives a hint to the plot – finding the missing link in man’s evolutionary development.
Knowing this book is written from a creation viewpoint, I wasn’t sure how the missing link idea would fit in. After reading it, I see it fits perfectly, and I am pleased at how well it all works together –
Your teens and pre-teens will appreciate the author’s writing style, her use of everyday language and descriptions, and the realistic situations she places the main characters in. Girls and boys both will love it.
